Non, je ne regrette rien. I tell ya, I can't wait to hear the s65 spool up to ~8k. I got him serviced in Aix at Bayern Aix (near EUR 500, or $700 - now got a claim for reimbursement in w/ BMW NA) as the service light came on at ~ 1,700 kms.

Mulhouse, Schlumpf collection - Bugattis
Quote:
I don't get the French haters in the States: just ignorance of the country/people, I surmise. The Schlumpf collection in Mulhouse is astounding So many Bugattis under 1 roof and even a Veyron; also, the Grand Prix section from the beginning of the last century to 1990s left me speechless. Hey, I also noticed an Aussie bar down the road from the museum - do you know it? When I have some time will post some of the French leg We WILL be going back to Paris & Provence.

Yeh, Muenchen is great - you were just there too, right? Everyone needs to go there. I'm blown away by how many people I meet over here that show absolutely no interest in visiting beautiful Bayern - and still sometimes bring up the Nazis/Hitler etc (it's over 60+ years, puhlease) or that the Germans are too dour - they clearly don't know Bavarians in summer at bierzeit! - they know how to party! And I will Thanks also for all your advice over more than a year (same also to Swamp and South).

I guess they drill holes in your front bumper for the temp tag.
2 questions... Can you keep the temp tags as a souvenier? Do the use the Euro front license plate holder?

Anyhow, I am always saddened to hear the French haters speak... especially because so many of them probably approached people with some kind of arrogant attitude. On the other side, anybody who at least tries to speak some French (even if it is to say hi and that you can not really speak French) will get an amazing welcome. Before enjoying a nice glass of White wine, I also often go to the American cemetery of Sigolsheim where the Star Spangled Banner flies high and where one has an amazing scenic view of the plain of Alsace! Looking forward to your next posts...

On a somewhat related topic...not a thread jack: I just drove by the new facility that the Paris area's largest BMW dealer just completed, a few kms outside of the city near Versailles. It is almost a mini-BMW Welt. I don't think I have ever seen such a huge BMW dealer anywhere. They have an incredible open bay where customer's will take delivery of their cars and they will also have a small BMW museum. I'll try to get some photos when they do their open house party soon. Would be a good place for future ED'ers needing to have service done in France. BTW, Voltigeur, that is a great "handle"... |

The plates are put on without holders. I'm going to buy a two-hook based mount for my front plate so I can keep the front bumber 'clean' especially for track or Tejas Chapter meets

I sure did wish for a 'tele-peage' on the Autoroute as you can get some back-ups. Coming out a toll in Provence we heard this banhsee wail coming from the left - so much so my wife let out an expletive - and from the toll a red F430 - what other coliour would it be - slingshotted out and roared away ... I so badly wanted to have my M3 run-in! You are exceedingly fortunate to live in Paris but after seeing the many dents from 'bumper parking' (why I did not take mine up from Provence) I wonder how you cope with your car? Quote:
Yes, the French members of the board will 'get' my handle Will PM. Well, it's already in the mid-30sC (90s F) today and the pool beckons: I need some bad weather so I will be inclined to stay indoors to post on France. I will get around to it ...
